Web-based continuing education programs

ASHP Advantage’s Web-based CE programs, developed with grants and sponsorship from client companies and distributed using ASHP’s targeted lists, are a key component of ASHP’s CE offerings. Available on demand, these CE programs are engaging and self-paced. They allow client companies to reach pharmacy professionals in their offices and homes—giving clients a decisive edge when it comes to corporate name recognition and credit for educational leadership.

Web-based resource centers

Pharmacy professionals rely on ASHP Advantage’s Web-based resource centers for current, authoritative information on topics of key importance in pharmacy practice today. Each resource center is developed by the ASHP Research and Education Foundation with the assistance of a team of experts and support from client sponsors.

Interactive Web programs

These online programs allow pharmacy professionals to participate in real-time discussions and educational presentations. Plus, images from presentation slides, photos and video can be called up on participants’ computers – along with sponsor names and logos.

Teleconferences

ASHP Advantage’s audio and video teleconferences offer live speaker presentations to health-system pharmacists, who can be located virtually anywhere. We identify faculty and work with them to develop the presentation materials and promote the event.

CD-ROMs

ASHP Advantage’s computer-based CE includes educational programs on CD-ROM. These programs are a trusted and continuous resource, available on demand and containing links to database resources, reference materials and other information.
